I have the classic Casio calculator watch, and Casio still makes retro watches for a very good price; like this one:

Timex has recently introduced a retro line of watches, though not as competitively priced. Here's an example:

How about you? Any retro watches you like to wear?
My everyday watch is the black plastic version of the Casio.
I used to have a calculator watch, but don't recall the make of it.
I also sent away for the James Bond watch that was released through Monster Munch crisps (I think.) The alarm was the Bond Theme. Had 5 of them and there was always something that didn't work on them :(
Ah well.
I want that classic watch (Seiko?) that is programmable from an 8-bit computer, like a C64. :)
